Have you considered the benefits of a Non-Waterfront Estate or Property?

With flood insurance on the rise and insurers in general tip toeing away from insuring estate and waterfront homes located in Tidal Areas, why not consider purchasing a non waterfront property or perhaps water access.  If a waterfront home is a MUST for you, then consider properties with great elevation and a commanding presence – out of the way of rising waters!

The benefits of non-waterfront real estate!

Enduring Relationships are Essential in Life and Business

I am very fortunate to have long-term friendships which have endured through meeting the needs of my clients in the distant past and recent past as well. As a previous muralist, whose work is featured in many of the Great Houses in Virginia, trust became a very large part of the enduring friendships and business relationships, as well as referrals, that I have been blessed by. These relationships have carried over into my real estate career, which is one of the great joys of my life. Serving buyers and sellers of estate and country properties, requires going above and beyond at all times and the ability to travel – wherever the listings or my buyers take me. I am an experienced agent with a track record of client satisfaction. I will always be present and accounted for, I will strive to exceed your expectations and I will put every tool at my disposal through William E. Wood and Associates to work for you. Whether buying or selling, contact me today at karinandrews@williamewood.com.
